CEO of Freediving Planet || Education Head of AIDA
24-29 April 2015 || Moalboal, Philippines
Apart from managing Freediving Planet, JP is also busy building up the freediving community in the Philippines. He tends to be strict inside the shop -- answering calls, entertaining visitors, overseeing repairs and maintenance -- but he is really sweet and friendly. Once when we attended a local beauty pageant, I was able to coax him into buying me balut and eating it with me. It wasn't his first time but he still was very awkward.
He has been in love with water since he was kid when he would spend hours just splashing in the pool. He has already taken on different swimming sports when he discovered freediving while it was just starting. And now, he is the Head of Education for AIDA.
I see his passion for freediving and his vision for freediving in the Philippines. He says he's been going back and forth Moalboal until he decided to set up shop and rent out a place. Under his supervision, Freediving Planet feels more like a friendly hang out place where learnings are shared instead of a regulated school where good performance is expected.
